This is a very straightforward problem with a relatively simple solution:

Stop buying Apple laptops to run Linux.

Hard disagree : try the UTM app on the App Store (or build it from open source) and you get Apple Silicon native virtualization and super simple installation of Aarch64 linuxes from an iso.

i've been doing this for maybe a year, after frustration with power draw and sleep modes (and dual boot) with Asahi.

it's been great...and Apple silicon is still super efficient, which is why i said hard disagree.
